Manhattan Beach’s most recent funded rounds shown here are dominated by a single disclosed large raise: Poetic’s Series A on 2026-06-10 for $50M is the only disclosed round above $17M, while the next-largest disclosed amount is Ocular Science’s $17M (2026-01-15). The small-ticket end is also visible: the lowest disclosed amount is Blok Sports’ $100K debt financing on 2022-03-03, far below the rest of the disclosed amounts.
The list is concentrated both by time and stage labels. Dates run from 2021-04-05 (3PL Central) to 2026-06-10 (Poetic), and several entries cluster tightly in late 2022 (five of the 10 rounds fall in 2022-11, 2022-04, and nearby March). Sector-wise, Gaming appears twice (Playgig in 2022-11-03; Blok Sports in 2022-03-03) while multiple rows carry non-standard funding labels: three entries are “Series Unknown” (Ocular Science 2026-01-15 $17M; GovInvest 2022-11-15 $4M; 3PL Central 2021-04-05 $45M) and one is “undisclosed” (Coast Energy, Private Equity, 2022-04-28).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Manhattan Beach set, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Poetic’s $50M Series A (2026-06-10) is an outlier on the top end; it’s the only disclosed round above $17M, with Ocular Science’s $17M (2026-01-15) the next-largest disclosed amount.
Where are the funding dates clustered—are recent rounds concentrated in a narrow window?
Yes: five of the 10 rows are concentrated around late 2022, including Playgig ($11M, 2022-11-03), GovInvest ($4M, 2022-11-15), Pod ($3M, 2022-11-01), and BayaniPay ($3M, 2024-06-13) sits later, while 3PL Central’s 2021-04-05 anchors the earlier edge.
Which entries are closest to the current end of the timeline shown?
Within roughly the last six months of the table’s most recent date (2026-06-10), Poetic (Series A, $50M, 2026-06-10) and Ocular Science (Series Unknown, $17M, 2026-01-15) are the only two rows above that cutoff in the displayed set.
How does the stage labeling mix look, especially for “Series Unknown” and non-disclosed amounts?
“Series Unknown” appears in three of the 10 rows (Ocular Science $17M on 2026-01-15; GovInvest $4M on 2022-11-15; 3PL Central $45M on 2021-04-05). Separately, one row has an “undisclosed” amount (Coast Energy, Private Equity, 2022-04-28), which limits comparisons on the low-to-high range for that company.
Are there sector over-representations or notable outliers in Manhattan Beach among these 10?
Gaming shows up twice (Playgig $11M on 2022-11-03 and Blok Sports $100K on 2022-03-03), but the bigger outlier is amount dispersion: Blok Sports’ $100K (2022-03-03) is the smallest disclosed amount in the set, while Poetic’s $50M (2026-06-10) is the largest disclosed amount.
